"What?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but be startled, and couldn't help but look at Chen Nan with a stunned face, they were a little confused by him, and said in their hearts, how can there be living people in this place?

"Impossible!"

Huang Wenshan subconsciously shook his head: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, you look at the traces of time in this place, conservatively estimated, I'm afraid it must be nearly a thousand years!"

"What's more, our Huang family has been studying here for decades, if there are really living people, we should have already discovered it!"

"Really?"

Chen Nan frowned slightly, in fact, he also felt that there could be no living people in this place, but the problem was that this place was obviously the pattern of "Yin and Yang Guarding the Palace"?

If there are no living people, then what is the meaning of the existence of this "Yin and Yang Guarding the Palace"?

At the same time, Huang Xinghai couldn't help but ask again: "Chen Daoyou, what are you talking about?

"As far as I know, isn't guarding the palace a gecko?"

"No!"

Chen Nan shook his head, and then explained: "Guarding the palace does not only refer to geckos, in fact, in ancient times, including lizards and salamanders, any animal that looks similar to a gecko can also be called a palace guard!"

"That's right!"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yulong next to him couldn't help but take over the conversation: "I seem to have seen similar records in ancient books, for example, Cui Bao of the Jin Dynasty once said in "Ancient and Modern Notes": Grasshopper, one is called guarding the palace, the other is called the dragon, and he is good at catching cicadas on the tree. Its five-colored grown-up is called a lizard, and its short, large one is called a salamander......"

"Yo?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Nan couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "That's right, I even know this!"

Then the words changed: "But what I said about the Yin and Yang Guarding Palace is actually a very ancient formation!"

"Let me tell you this, its function is actually a bit similar to the function of modern monitors, mainly used to prevent theft or monitor others! It is generally used as a mountain guard array for mountain gates, once triggered, the arranger can use the effect of the formation to monitor the intruder's every move......

"Huh?"

As soon as the words fell, Huang Xinghai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if he understood why Chen Nan said that there might be living people in the ruins!

Because if this thing is really used for "monitoring", there is no living person, and naturally there is no meaning!

So he frowned, and then asked, "Could it be that this is the entrance to the former Shushan Sword Sect Mountain Gate?"

"As for the Yin Yang Guarding Palace you mentioned, it is the Great Array of Mountain Guarding Array set up by the Shushan Sword Immortals! For various reasons, although the Shushan Sword Sect is long gone, this Mountain Guarding Array has been operating until now?"

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yulong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Don't say it, it seems that there is really such a possibility!"

However, at this moment, Chen Nan couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a determined face: "It's impossible!"

"First of all, this Yin Yang Guarding Palace is not worthy of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect at all, with the strength of the Shu Mountain Sword Immortals, even if they want to set up a mountain guarding array, they will only choose a powerful sword formation!

"What's more, as far as I know, although this Yin Yang Guarding Palace is a kind of formation, it is time-sensitive! Even the top-level Yin Yang Guarding Palace Array, if no one maintains it, it can only operate for a hundred years at most, and then it will collapse!"

"Oh?"

Hearing him say this, Huang Xinghai's brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper, and then he said with confusion on his face: "But the formation here is obviously still operating?"

"That's right!"

Chen Nan nodded: "That's why I suspected that there might be living people in the ruins!"

"Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are only two possibilities! either there are still living people in the ruins to maintain the formation of this place, or the last owner of this ruins has just been gone for less than a hundred years!"

"This ......"

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but be silent, and at the same time a little frustrated, because no matter what kind of situation Chen Nan said, this place could never be the mountain gate of the Shushan Sword Sect.

"That's it!"

After a long time, Huang Xinghai said: "Don't care about these things for now, no matter what kind of situation you said, let's break through the ancient array first, and go in and have a look!"

Immediately afterwards, he arched his hand to Chen Nan, and asked with an open face: "What's the matter?"

"Of course!"

Chen Nan nodded, and then asked Huang Wenshan for a few pieces of saltpeter, and with a "bang", it smashed in several directions in front of him at the same time.

This trick is called "throwing stones and asking for directions", it is one of the most common ways to break the formation, Chen Nan has to estimate the specific power of this Yin and Yang Guarding Palace first, and then he can fight against the drug!

"Boom"!

Almost at the same time that the saltpeter in Chen Nan's hand had just flown out, there was indeed a change in the ancient array in front of them, and at the same time as the light flashed, faintly, they even heard the roar of a beast!

Immediately after that, they saw a vicious-looking monster, and they pounced directly on them with their teeth and claws......

"Not good!"

"Hurry back!"

Huang Xinghai was startled, and almost immediately took Huang Wenshan and the others directly backwards more than ten meters away, and at the same time pulled out their weapons one after another, ready to do it at any time!

"Huh?"

At the same time, Chen Nan couldn't help but sigh in surprise, not only did he not follow Huang Xinghai backwards, but the corners of his mouth showed a knowing smile, and he suddenly realized: "I see!"

"I see!"

"I said how could this Yin Yang Guarding Palace run for so long, it turned out that the Guardian Palace was replaced by a beast soul, and it was also a beast soul that had already become a refinement!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Nan immediately sacrificed the grass pheasant sword in his hand, the sharp sword light, flashed, the power was amazing, and in a blink of an eye, it had already slashed in front of the monster with teeth and claws.

However, this monster is also not a vegetarian, and was actually dodged by it, and his backhand was a claw that slapped directly into the grass pheasant sword in mid-air.

"Roar—"

With a fierce roar, the grass pheasant sword trembled violently, and the sword spirit inside actually manifested as well at this time, and the eight hideous snake heads opened their bloody mouths, biting the palace guarding beast soul in the ancient formation almost at the same time!

It was only at this time that Chen Nan saw the beast soul inside clearly, good guy, there was actually a huge lizard that was seven or eight meters long.

Fortunately, this thing has already died, and it was directly extracted from the beast soul and refined into the array spirit in the "Yin Yang Guarding Palace", otherwise, if they want to enter, I'm afraid it's really not a simple thing.

"What?"

At the same time, Huang Xinghai and the others not far away couldn't help but be startled, but what they were shocked was not the huge lizard, but the sword spirit that manifested from the grass pheasant sword!

"Yaki Orochi!"

Huang Xinghai recognized the sword spirit almost at a glance, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Grass Pheasant Sword......!" This is actually the Grass Pheasant Sword, one of the three major artifacts of the island country?"

Chen Nan didn't pay attention to it, and then slammed the sword trick in his hand, and the grass pheasant sword suddenly became more and more violent!

Taking advantage of the fact that the Yaqi Snake bit the huge lizard, countless sword lights instantly poured out wildly, and with a "boom", it directly enveloped the lizard beast soul!

"Roar—"

I could only faintly hear the lizard beast soul let out a painful roar, and then it was directly dismembered into several pieces by the sword light, and then it was directly eaten up by the Yaqi Snake!

"Huh?"

Chen Nan was shocked, he was so surprised and delighted, he never thought that the sword spirit could actually devour the lizard's beast soul and use it for his own use!

Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chen Nan obviously felt that the sword spirit of the Grass Pheasant Sword had suddenly become a lot stronger again, and even his control of the Grass Pheasant Sword had become a lot easier.

With a slight move of his right hand in front of him, the Grass Pheasant Sword flew back again, constantly spitting sword rays around him, as if a child was playing with him.

"Kind of interesting!"

The corners of Chen Nan's mouth rose slightly, but he didn't expect that he had already reaped a lot of benefits before he entered the ruins. Even if they go home now, Chen Nan can be regarded as worthwhile......

Because if the sword spirit wants to grow, it is actually an extremely difficult thing!

Normally, if it weren't for the beast soul that had devoured the lizard just now, it would have taken at least a few years for the sword spirit to have such an improvement.

That's why he was so surprised, and at the same time, Huang Xinghai and the others couldn't help but surround him again at this time, and said with a look of surprise on their faces: "You...... You're actually from an island country?"
